Pakistan’s government has never really focused its efforts on improving the public health sector. This has created an opportunity for innovative companies to try and improve the local healthcare system on their own. One such software company isĀ Aurora Solutions, which is trying to simplify the healthcare system for doctors and patients through its new product called Pliro.
What is Pliro?
Taking every problem into account, Pliro aims to bridge the gap between doctors and patients with the use of technology.
Pliro is essentially an all-round healthcare partner for both doctors and patients. It cuts the traditional costs and allows patients to connect with doctors online. Doctors get the added benefit of appointment management and it is handled automatically.
The Pliro platform can make healthcare more intuitive. Here are some of the features through which it can change the way the current healthcare system works:
Pliro for Doctors
The everyday life of doctors is hectic as it is. Administrative headaches and inefficiencies simply add to the burden. Pliro takes care of doctors with a diversified set of features and helps make their practice more simple, organized and effective.

Pliro for Patients
Pliro is just as significant for patients, allowing access to proper guidance, assistance and treatment. With its wide number of features, Pliro provides a personalized experience for patients.Ā Through Pliro, Ā patients can avail the following services::

Another feature of Pliro is that it synchronizes and updates practitioners and patients with the help of email and SMS alerts, so there are no misunderstandings regarding the confirmation of appointments.
How Does It Work?
The process of accessing Pliro is extremely simple, all you have to do is download the application and follow these steps:

- TheyĀ request an appointment from a list of available time slots for each doctor.
- Doctor approves, cancels or reschedules patient’s request as per his/her availability.

I hope the idea catches on soon with everybody : patients, doctors and the ordinary citizens. It is a useful idea.
The application needs a little more tweaks by the developers in my view. It is okay but then it can be improved. Not enough doctors on it plus it takes time to search – at least the Android version.
My best wishes with the concept.
ProPakistani no doubt you are doing good reporting on Pakistan positive side but the truth is that Pakistan nation could no bring positive changes in itself. Pakistani doctors are careless. They getting paid by high wages in govt hospitals but their services are Zero. You go to the Govt hospital doctor will give you his clinic address. Now the positive thing can change Pakistan and it is we are. We always waiting for person like Imran Khan or any other guy whose priority is only his personal benefits not the peoples. We need to come out from Facebook world.
